Conversation with Armand
The autocomplete feature has a real added value for users. You will never know when your users want to mark something in this or this city.
Agreed with Armand. I think the autocomplete would be an optimal solution.
We are working on this :
- autocomplete
- restricting geocoding to a certain area (to avoid being pinned in Russia, Brazil for a local consultation)
@carol I understood recently that the pin displayed on the map above are only the ones from the proposal list displayed bellow which is very confusing. One would like to have all the proposal pinned on the map. What do you think ?
we're also working on the autocomplete! we just created the issue a few days ago: https://github.com/decidim/decidim/issues/6024
What do you mean with _all_ the proposals? We're talking about the map in the context of a specific participation space, right?
@Virgile Deville have you thought further how you're gonna implement the geocoding to certain area?
I think the best option would be to use the "bounding box" parameter available e.g. with Here. There may be service specific differences regarding this (as there is also the other discussion to change Here to something better).

Change "here.com" for "Open Street Map"
So far we have implemented it simply just by customizing the geocoding validator and adding a suffix to the geocoding queries such as "{query}, Town, Country". It works better but we've noticed this also causes some of the results to be misinterpreted by the geocoder. E.g. someone had put an area name of a city in South Finland and it was geocoded to Lapland, even when the are name was correctly written and the area exists in that city.
